"Kenny Rogers introduced so many to country music. His songs crossed over into many genres. I'll never forget the evocative angst in Kenny's voice on 'Ruby,' the unmistakable hooks and his unique, authentic ability to tell a story in 'The Gambler,' and of course, the perfection of his duet with Dolly Parton, 'Islands in the Stream.' Kenny's impact has been indelible," Wilson said in a statement.

"It's an honor to be hosting CMT GIANTS Kenny Rogers and to share in an evening of Kenny's songs with so many iconic artists," she continued.
